The 85-135mm that come with this camera gives you good range for a variety of of shots, from portraits to telephotos. There is even a macro mode.
Another good sharp and fast lens are
Canon EF 200mm f/2.8L II USM Telephoto Lens
Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM Telephoto Zoom Lens

I have a lense that came with my camera and I need a wide angled lense. Can I use a wide angle converter lense to put on the lense I already have?

The 10-22 mm wide angle zoom is the lens you need

Hello everyone

I’ve just bought Canon 50D, and before this camera, I had used Eos400D/rebel XTi for about 3 years..

The ‘Standard’ picture style in EOS400D is good enough for me, i didn’t have to change the the sharpness level, saturation, etc.. it fit for all-round purpose

Now with my EOS 50D, I found that the standard picture style setting is a little bit different, it seems over-contrast. Could anyone here suggest the optimal setting for the ‘standard’ picture style? (the sharpness level, saturation, color tone, contrast).

*sorry for my bad english*

No there really isn’t a "standard". I have a Canon 1000D and I don’t use any of the photo modes, I go for what I like and that’s what you should do.

Take the camera out, experiment with the settings, find out what you like and use it. If you’ve had
an XTi you know what an SLR is how to use one so use what you know and go for it.

i don’t want to talk about video capturing. In terms of still images quality, and other specifications which camera is better?

Here they they are, head to head.

I am sure this will help you in your choice.

by settings I mean shutter priority, sports mode, no flash, auto, A-DEP, ect.

all the settings on the wheel on top of the camera

also, reviews on this camera? is it more of a novice, Amateur, or professional type camera?

Look here for those answers

The 50D camera is an advanced amateur camera.

The full frame Canon 1D and 1Ds and APS-C sensored 7D are considered professional Canon dSLR’s.

How well? Does it give you the wide len effect?

If you do want a wide angle lens then fhotoace is right, but it is a bit too wide for everyday purpose, awesome for landscape though.
The lens you want has nothing special but good everyday purpose but that’s it.

And is this recommended in certain situations? I’m shooting portraits at a fall festival later in October. I’d like to have some real-time views of the images on more than my LCD screen. Is there a way to tether my camera to a laptop? I’ve searched through my manual and can’t seem to find anything.

Thanks for the advice.

Sure you can, Check your CD’s which comes with the camera there is EOS Utility software and will allowed you to take a pictures and connect your body to the computer

I have the normal Canon 50D, I was wondering which width, or whether any canon/other firm lens would fit?

Here is the newest Canon lens fisheye zoom lens.
